Crumpet is the owner of Big A (mom), Da Mao (dad) and her two cats (Rosemary & Truffles). Crumpet enjoys watching Russel Crowe in GLADIATOR and is secretly plotting to take over the world.

TEAM MIA

Da Mao is a thirty-something Dude at a Gigantor Comic Distributor.
Although he enjoys reading comics, he actually lives for good food, good music and
the utter destruction of the Bush administration. He also likes cheese.

Big A likes happy endings, which is one reason why she writes romance novels. She spends her workdays at the Fabuloso Book Packaging Kingdom.
A (lapsed) green belt in taekwondo, she swears she's going to start kicking butt again. Really. Maybe next month.

Rosemary is one of the two cats in residence at Casa de Crumpet.
A stylish tuxedo cat, she is skittish yet adorable, and sports
a world-class set of whiskers. She is fond of the second-floor bathroom and the tummy-rubs to be found there.

Truffles, sister to Rosemary, is the other cat. She is large and fluffy and
lovely and bulimic, and doesn't care who knows it. She also is prone to
setting herself on fire and is overly fond of pickle juice.

Big Green Egg & Ribs

For those not in the know, the Big Green Egg is a Japanese BBQ grill that's shaped like, well, a big green egg. The owners (such as John) swear by its superior cooking ability. Don McQuinn told me every officer had one when he was stationed off Okinawa in the 50s.

The ''eggfest'' is a ridiculous event where owner haul their Big Green Egg down to the park and proceed to cook all-day their own secret recipes - ribs, pizza, sliders, cake, sausages. The event is ALL YOU CAN EAT and FREE. The cooks are here for the love of cooking as well as networking (a lot of recipe & technique sharing going on) or simply just to show off.

It wasn't enough to convince me to buy a Big Green Egg because I enjoy the instant gratification of my trust Weber Silver II but I sure love this festival and of course, can visit John's house anytime for his famous 12-hour Boston Butt.
